Now ended, 'The Carpet and the Connoisseur: The James F. Ballard Collection of Oriental Rugs' the acclaimed Spring 2016 exhibition at the Saint Louis Art Museum, with its fine catalogue by guest curator Walter B. Denny, attracted almost 14,000 visitors over its too brief ten-week run. A great antique oriental carpet show, but don't count on seeing anything on this scale again at SLAM for years to come!
For the first time since they were made, 10 tapestries designed by the French artist Jean Lurçat have returned to Aubusson, France, where they were woven between 1957–1966 in the city’s historic workshops
One of the world's most prominent and eminent carpet collectors is remembered by his close friends Brian and Stephanie Morehouse
